make a dream catcher, or five
- Gather your hoop and supplies.
- Wrap the suede evenly around the entire ring. Wrap it either eight or sixteen times, depending upon your preference. Glue the ends to the hoop. Secure them with a clothespin until the glue dries.
- Make the web. Tie the nylon string to the suede. Make eight knots evenly dispersed around the ring. Keep the thread taunt between knots.
- Make a second row. Place each knot "between" the knots of the previous row.
- Continue in this manner until a small hole remains in the center. Tie a final double knot.
- Add a tiny drop of glue to secure each knot in place.
- Make two ornaments. Thread a few pony beads over a small piece of suede. Tie one end into a knot and tie the other end onto the dreamcatcher. Place them on either side of the hoop about two-thirds down from the top. Push a few feathers inside the bottom of the beads and add glue to secure them in place.
- Thread a few pony beads over "another" small piece of suede. Tie each end of the suede into a knot. Fold the suede in half, so that the beads are hanging. Attach the fold near the top of the web. Glue a sea shell over the fold. Glue a few feathers on each side of the sea shell.
- Thread a small piece of suede, through the top of the dreamcatcher, to create a strap for hanging.
- Hang the dreamcatcher in your window. With the first rays of sunlight, all bad thoughts should disperse. Only good thoughts will be entering your mind for the day.
